General Castro has been extremely pleased to learn of the cordial expressions of good will which mark the first official communication to the new Venezuelan Government from the Government of the United States, a Republic bound to ours by such natural ties. It is also a source of extreme satisfaction for me to know that your excellency's aim in the future will be that all official intercourse with the ministry under my charge shall be pleasant and harmonious, and to attain this end I myself shall ever earnestly strive. I avail myself with the greatest pleasure of this occasion to renew to your excellency the assurances of my most distinguished consideration. R. ANDUEZA PALACIO. Mr. Hay to Mr. Loomis.
